MSTP sub-tab (NSR and NSR LITE only)

MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) exchanges BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units) to prevent loops in MSTI (Multiple Spanning Tree Instances) and CIST (Common and Internal Spanning Tree).

Besides the changes in the MSTP sub-tab, the Spanning Tree Status needs to be enabled under the Global sub-tab, and the STP Status needs to be enabled in the interfaces under the Switch Interfaces sub-tab.
